Ed Harcourt performs his acoustic version of 'Loup Garou' live at Latitude Festival

Live session at Latitude Festival with Ed Harcourt, performing 'Loup Garou.'
Latitude is turning 10 this year so we thought we'd have a chat to the man that's been there at both ends of the UK's sweetest festival. Ed Harcourt has been busy this year writing his follow up album to last year's brief but beautiful, Time of Dust - and also found the time to play with The Libertines.
More recently, Harcourt has been spotted on the Glastonbury main stage invited on by The Libertines during their not-so-secret, secret set. We wanted to know how this miraculous collaboration came about, so we caught up with Ed to talk about Latitude over the decade, his new album and The Libs.
Over the last decade what do you think has changed for Latitude in terms of atmosphere and music?
Ed: I don’t know, the first time playing was a very fleeting visit, it was very in and out. When I played two years ago I really enjoyed it. I got to walk around until the early hours. [Latitude] has really got a unique style of it’s own. I like the fact that it incorporates culture and art and random things like that. I recall there were these men in tights wondering about which was quite thrilling.
They seem to up the weirdness every year, don’t they?
Ed: Yeah! I really like that and I like the sheep as well.”
